a paperweight in shades of greige
Oh hi Not much to report on this week. I did put parts of Baylan and Shin on the dressforms to take some more pics. Gonna add a few of these to the construction page until I can get more pics of us IN the costumes. Got all of Dragoncon put away. As I was carrying the last bit upstairs…

dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

one day remains
Down to the wire here. The last week has been a roller coaster. I have a new boss. His style is totally spiking my anxiety. 2 meetings today in the midst of trying to get ready to be out of town. I do not think he understand my job/position in the company. I’m going to have to deal with this…

make the friendship bracelets
Whelp here we are about a week out and I am NOT DONE and not even the SLIGHTEST bit packed. Normally this point I’ve already packed the stuff that’s done/older costumes but I haven’t even gotten my bin out of the attic yet. I can’t even get excited about con because I’m still in panic mode. I spent 3 days…

Sooo that was an interesting weekend. First let’s go through Friday’s to-do list and see what I got done: 1. Finish T’Lyn wig 2. Paint her ears to better match my skin tone, I tried them on and they are not a match. 3. Try on Taylor wig, cut bangs if needed? 4. Finish tacking the lining on the Taylor…

its the final countdown
It’s now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we’d have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what’d I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don’t know,…

hello world
Ok quick post today because I need to get back to work and also because I apparently destroyed my thumb sewing last night and I’m still in pain today and it hurts to type. I started stoning the boots last week: End of Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: You can’t tell in the Friday photo but the stones go all…

you exist in the context
oh hi. It’s getting close to panic time for dragoncon. A while back Jess made a comment about my the Taylor Swift game mastermind in relation to my dragoncon line-up – so I had to do my dragoncon line up that way: Those 10 are pretty much confirmed. Left off the 2 unconfirmed for now. Here’s where we stand at…

lingering in the ocean blue
So for the past few months, Luna has decided her sleeping spot is my underbed storage container. It’s soft-sided thing from ikea and I keep like my swimsuits and tights and stuff I don’t need often in it, and I left it unzipped and she claimed it. She’s always gone through phases of where she sleeps, she’ll sleep in her…

life was a willow
Sorry for no Monday morning post yesterday. I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety the past week. Not much more I can say at the moment. Been trying to keep my nose to the grindstone and my mind on other things. So the good news is I’m officially done with SEWING on 3 out of 5 of my Dragoncon…

is somebody gonna match my freak
I’ve been trying to catch her in this pose and set the Huttslayer figure in front of her for ages. Finally got it. Not a lot to report on this week. The soft lavender and pale blue are making me wish I’d committed to doing only pastel costumes for dragoncon LOL Walker stayed over Friday, she watched the Eras livestream…

you’re a loony
Oh my gosh I have a ton to post today. So let’s start at the beginning. Tuesday we took Kevin to see Inside Out 2. He did his best Mr Bean impression while wearing a tiny hat at Huey’s. And then he posed with Wolvy and Deadpool. We wanted to take a group picture with this after the movie but…

heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another
Well here we are on another Monday. So here was my Padme to-do list last week, with updates: 1. Hem skirt – done! 2. Finish pleated front panel/attach – half done. I got it re-gathered and ready to go but wanted to wait til my beads arrived to make sure the two things together are sized correctly. 3. Do tacks…

the struggle is real
Here we are again on another Monday morning. Today has been a very monday monday already. Feeling better about Padme. Got a bunch done this weekend. I think I’ve said about 5 times now that the top is done, but everytime I put it on, I find another place that needs tacked. It’s currently sitting with about 3 pins in…

say once again with feeling
This Padme costume is about to be my 13th reason. The fabric is just SOOO thin that anytime I have to unpick something it either damages the fabric or I accidentally cut a hole in it. Trying to get everything to line up correctly and looking ok at the neckline has been the majority of my weekend. I guess let’s…

puppies & sewing
I have a lot of puppy content. Let’s get to it. Walker stayed with us last Monday from around 8 in the morning to about 3 the next day. My parents were out of town for a concert and she’s too little to stay at doggie daycare yet like Skye did. She slept most of the day Monday and Tuesday,…

sing a new song chiquitita
Not a ton to talk about this week. Actually I think the thing I have the most to say about is sewing progress! For the first time in a while. SO. I had gotten that fabric to use as lining for the top and the skirt. I got the skirt pieces cut out – it’s basically a miniskirt – got…
